Just five days after leaving Hospital Bahagia in Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, singer-songwriter Yasin Sulaiman is already busy penning his autobiography. The 51-year-old artiste posted on Threads that the 400-page book will chronicle his life experiences. Accompanying his update was a nostalgic newspaper photograph of him with music legend Datuk M. Nasir.
He sought assistance in identifying appropriate images for his memoir and highlighted the significance of the Nasir photograph. Yasin also shared pictures with composer Ezra Kong, a cherished friend and frequent collaborator. Followers and internet users responded with supportive messages, praising his choice to share his life story and expressing anticipation for potential future musical partnerships with Kong.
On September 2, Akbar Azmi, another singer, confirmed Yasin's release from the hospital after he had been receiving mental health treatment for the past four years. In 2022, Yasin faced legal issues when he was charged with cannabis possession and cultivation at his residence. He received a life sentence and 16 cane lashes from the Shah Alam High Court on August 22, 2024.
However, the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya overturned the conviction on April 28, 2025, returning him to the psychiatric hospital for care.
